Correct answer
Reduce speed, stopping if necessary.
A motorcycle rider travelling in heavy rain must moderate their speed, stopping if necessary, to allow more time to react to an obstacle. They must also brake gently to avoid the motorcycle wheels locking and take special care with road markings painted on the carriageway, as they become very slippery in the rain and the wheels may skid.
